of Educational Testing Service (ETS) in the United States
and other countries. Introduction to the Verbal
Reasoning Measure
This document describes the types of questions
contained in the Verbal Reasoning sections, gives
you strategies for answering them, and presents
some worked examples.
Purpose and Format of the Verbal
Reasoning Section
The Verbal Reasoning section of the GRE
measures your ability to analyze and evaluate
written material and synthesize information
obtained from it, to analyze relationships among
component parts of sentences, and to recognize
relationships among words and concepts.

Verbal Reasoning questions appear in several
formats, each of which is discussed in detail below.
About half of the section requires you to read
passages and answer questions on those passages.
The other half requires you to read, interpret, and
complete existing sentences, groups of sentences,
- 1 -
or paragraphs. All of the questions are multiple
choice, with the number of choices varying,
depending on the type of question.

Verbal Reasoning Question Types
The GRE Verbal Reasoning section contains
three types of questions: Reading Comprehension,
Text Completion, and Sentence Equivalence. In
this section you will study each of these question
types one by one, and you’ll learn valuable
strategies for answering each type.
Reading Comprehension
Reading Comprehension questions are
designed to test a wide range of abilities required
to read and understand the kinds of prose
commonly encountered in graduate school. Those
abilities include:

• understanding the meaning of individual words
• understanding the meaning of individual
sentences
- 2 -
• understanding the meaning of paragraphs and
larger bodies of text
• distinguishing between minor and major points
• summarizing a passage
• drawing conclusions from the information
provided
• reasoning from incomplete data, inferring
missing information
• understanding the structure of a text, how the
parts relate to one another
• identifying the author’s perspective
• identifying the author’s assumptions
• analyzing a text and reaching conclusions
about it
• identifying strengths and weaknesses
• developing and considering alternative
explanations

As this list implies, reading and understanding
a piece of text requires far more than a passive
understanding of the words and sentences it
contains—it requires active engagement with the
text, asking questions, formulating and evaluating
- 3 -
hypotheses, and reflecting on the relationship of
the particular text to other texts and information.

Each Reading Comprehension question is
based on a passage, which may range in length
from one paragraph to several paragraphs. The
test contains twelve to fifteen passages; the
majority of the passages in the test are one
paragraph in length, and only one or two are
several paragraphs long. Passages are drawn from
the physical sciences, the biological sciences, the
social sciences, the arts and humanities, and
everyday topics, and are based on material found
in books and periodicals, both academic and
nonacademic.

Typically, about half of the questions on the
test will be based on passages, and the number of
questions based on a given passage can range
from one to six. Questions can cover any of the
topics listed above, from the meaning of a
particular word to assessing evidence that might
support or weaken points made in the passage.

General Advice for Reading
Comprehension Questions
• Reading passages are drawn from many
different disciplines and sources, so you may
encounter material with which you are not
familiar. Do not be discouraged when this
happens; all the questions can be answered
on the basis of the information provided in
the passage, and you are not expected to
rely on any outside knowledge. If, however,
you encounter a passage that seems
particularly hard or unfamiliar, you may want
to save it for last.
• Read and analyze the passage carefully
before trying to answer any of the questions,
and pay attention to clues that help you
understand less explicit aspects of the
passage.
o Try to distinguish main ideas from
supporting ideas or evidence.

o Try to distinguish ideas that the author is
advancing from those he or she is merely
reporting.
o Similarly, try to distinguish ideas that the
author is strongly committed to from those
he or she advances as hypothetical or
speculative.
o Try to identify the main transitions from
one idea to the next.
o Try to identify the relationship between
different ideas.
For example:
Are they contrasting? Are they
consistent?
Does one support the other?
Does one spell another out in
greater detail?
Does one apply another to a
particular circumstance?
• Read each question carefully and be certain
that you understand exactly what is being
asked.
- 6 -
• Answer each question on the basis of the
information provided in the passage and do not
rely on outside knowledge. Sometimes your
own views or opinions may conflict with those
presented in a passage; if this happens, take
special care to work within the context
provided by the passage. You should not
expect to agree with everything you encounter
in the reading passages.

Multiple-Choice—Select One
Description: These are the traditional multiple-
choice questions with five answer choices of which
you must select one.
Tips for Answering Single Selection
Multiple-Choice Questions
• Read all the answer choices before making
your selection, even if you think you know
what the answer is in advance.
• The correct answer is the one that most
accurately and most completely answers the
question posed; be careful not to be
misled by answer choices that are only
partially true or only partially answer the
question. Be careful also not to pick an answer
choice simply because it is a true statement.
• When the question is a vocabulary question
about a word in the passage, be sure that the
answer choice you select correctly represents
the way the word is being used in the passage.
Many words have quite different meanings in
different contexts.
- 8 -
Multiple-Choice—Select One or More
Description: These provide three answer choices
and ask you to select all that are correct; one, two,
or all three of the answer choices may be correct.
To gain credit for these questions, you must select
all the correct answers, and only those; there is no
credit for partially correct answers.
Tips for Answering Multiple Selection
Multiple-Choice Questions
• Evaluate each answer choice separately on its
own merits; when evaluating one answer
choice, do not take the others into account.
• A correct answer choice accurately and
completely answers the question posed; be
careful not to be misled by answer choices that
are only partially true or only partially answer
the question. Be careful also not to pick an
answer choice simply because it is a true
statement.
• Do not be disturbed if you think all three
answer choices are correct, since questions of
this type can have three correct answer
choices.
